Although it is reasonable in itself, it is primarily interesting as a historical record. Supposedly the first detective story in modern literature, it comes across as a proto Sherlock Holmes: the clever, logical amateur sleuth, the loyal but dim sidekick, the bumbling policeman, the amazing resolution. Having said that, it is lacking in depth and subtlety. it also doesn't carry much of the gothic macabre that I was expecting from Poe. 20 June 2017. ( ) A mother and daughter are bafflingly and brutally murdered inside a locked room on Rue Morgue, and C. Auguste Dupin must apply his fine detective skills to piece together the mystery. Horror, madness, violence and the dark forces hidden in humanity abound in this collection of Poe's brilliant tales. About the Author George Bernard Shaw called him, 'the finest of finest of artists'; but Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) died alone in pain and poverty when he was only forty. Almost his last words were: 'I wish to God someone would blow my damned brains out.' - it is not difficult to see why some of his best-remembered stories are grotesque and macabre. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

First published in an 1841 edition of Graham's Magazine, The Murders in the Rue Morgue is often cited as the first modern detective story. The first of three stories to center around C. Auguste Dupin, Poe's fictional detective, The Murders in the Rue Morgue involves Dupin's investigation of two women's murders. Establishing many of the tropes that would later become common to detective fiction, the story begins with an explanation of Dupin's theory of ratiocination, a concept which greatly influenced the creation of detective fiction itself and other great detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.
